It had come circuitously by way of Pastor Borne, formerly a citizen, from a soldier friend of his now stationed near Braunfels, Germany.. The folder, additional copies of which are being requested by the local chamber, is so remarkable like those glorifying the “Beauty Spot of Texas”, both in tone and appearance, that the casual reader might almost believe the sponsoring the same municipality, were it not for the obvious difference in languages.

lf you think a high electric bill is your meter's fault, consider this: in thousands of requested meter tests since 1990, all but 37 meters met Public Utility Commission standards. The other 37 were "slow", which means they measured even less electricity than was actually used! Thaf s accuracy you can count on.
